People have a lots of interests and what interests me may or may not interest you. Even though interests are numerous, you are bound to find a lot of people who share your interests. So, what are your interests? That is something for you to think about.
You might have to do some serious thinking before you level down you preferences. There might be a lot of things that you enjoy doing but you rarely get a chance to do.
Once you have decided on what your interests are then half the story is done. For the other part of the story, you need to sit and think about what you would like in another person. Having the same interests doesn’t necessarily mean that you can get along with a person
For example, if you are a person who likes to talk a lot, it doesn’t mean that you could like another person who likes to talk a lot as well. If two people try to keep talking at the same time then obviously, there cannot be any dialogue.
So also, if you are the silent reserved type and the other person is too, the there will hardly be any dialogue at all! The word over here is “compatible.” The interests of partners should complement each other and not clash.
So, sit down right now and do some thinking. Start to get a picture of exactly what you are looking for before you ever start trying to find someone online.
